Presentation Description

This is an extremely hands-on course to take students from little knowledge of deep learning to comfort building vision models with Keras and TensorFlow. It requires very little math, but reasonably proficient Python programming skills. At the end of class, you will be able to build models on your own, and more importantly be able to quickly find resources to help you with new problems you encounter in your day to day work.
